Surprisingly I've not seen a lot of Kirk Douglas films over the years.

His later 80's  and onwards were not very good with the exception of a tv version of Inherit the Wind.

But to play it safe:
Spartacus
20,000 Leagues Under The Sea

two others stick in my mind, but only saw them once

a tv musical adaptation of Dr, Jeklyn & Mr. Hyde. Score I think was Lionel Bart
The list of Adrian Messinger a film with a gimmick that I am not sure will hold up to a second viewing

Good morning, all! I think I had a dream in which DR Ginny and I were partners in a game show; my only real memory of it is that I was doing somethng matching up CD cases and covers. It's quite vague at this point.

This morning, another McGlinnventory day, followed by edits with Mr Skip Kennon at Toyland. On my way home I need to stop at a pharmacy for a new toothbrush and some laundry and household cleaning products. I'm pretty much sruck home tomorrow waiting for Fed Ex to pick up these eight cartons going to Ohio. Who knows? By tomorrow I may have nine. Or ten!

TOD:
  20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA, which led to my seeing

I agree that PATHS OF GLORY is a great film, possibly Kubrick's best.

On the other hand, because of the depressing subject matter and the ending, I find it a difficult film to watch.  I've been avoiding watching it again it for years.

We have a situation with postage today, something I've been trying to tell the helper needed to be dealt with long before the CDs arrived, but she waited until the last minute and now we have a situation.  She's been so great I'm not going to make a deal out of it other than to say it can't happen this way again - I know what I'm doing in regards of being proactive and it must get done the way I say - we certainly could have avoided this problem - everything will still get shipped today - it's just going to take longer - one of the things we've been doing is switching everything to the Internet so the Pitney-Bowes machine can go away and it all has to do with that.

Just had two bad Ebay experiences yesterday....two vintage Bollywood movie posters arrived badly damaged because the seller used a plastic tube, rather then the hard cardboard tube he normally uses, and the tube shattered during transit

..and a Covina Pottery planter I sold on Ebay, and packaged very well (I thought) and even marked as fragile, arrived at it's new owner's home in several pieces.

Actually, I guess this would be two bad USPS experiences...what in tarnation do these people do with packages in transit, anyway!

In all my years of Ebaying I have not had these things occur before.   >:(

The USPS is s**t.

In the past month or so, I've had 3 letters (two of them containing checks), ripped up by their lousy machinery.

Luckily, the checks eventually showed up...after I had stopped payment on them.

I was so glad that they didn't get their two-cent raise for next year. 

They don't deserve it.

They were fat and healthy and really chomped on the leaves when I put them on it. Now they are lying there like, well, like dead caterpillars.

Sorry about the caterpillars, DR Laura.  I've been meaning to mention that my cardiac rehab gym has an infestation of ladybugs and I've enjoyed watching them in the windows while walking on the treadmill.  My nurse Gail told me yesterday that they were going to exterminate them last night and I'll be sad not to see them tomorrow.

They were fat and healthy and really chomped on the leaves when I put them on it. Now they are lying there like, well, like dead caterpillars.

In the good news department, I released my butterfly that emerged yesterday. I tagged it and set it free at the river. I hope he makes it to the overwintering spot in either Mexico or the coast of California!

That is horrible, Laura!

Yeah, DR MBarnum, I thought the ladybugs would get a reprieve because they're Ohio's official state insect, but Gail said, "Well, this IS a hospital and it looks pretty bad to have any kind of bugs!"

Oh Ginny,, they aren't really lady bugs, they are a beetle that stinks really bad when you squish it.  The government imported them from Japan or somewhere to eat aphids in soybean fields.  The problem is they took over the world.  They get into houses and overwinter inside the walls.  I'm allergic to them. It's awful

I have slowly been letting Ricky out of the room. Tonight I let him come downstairs,  He ran to the landing, turned the corner took the stairs about 4 at a time and proceeded to slide down the last few and plop! on the floor.  He was SOOO excited.  He sniffed and played.  I don't think he's ever been on hardwood floors, he had no idea how to stop or control himself. It was pretty funny....well not to Boo, she was irate.  I let her do the howling and hissing and Ricky really didn't back down.  I didn't really interfere, until it was just getting a little too nasty, then I put him back in his room.   He was out for about 30 minutes.  It was a good start and I think it will get better

I have two different kinds of milkweed growing in my yard that the monarchs have laid eggs on. My scientist friend says not to change the milkweed they grew up on. Luckily, only those four were on that particular kind. (There were more, but I think they were able to crawl away to form chrysalises before I bought the new plant). I still have about four or five caterpillars on the other kind of milkweed. And two formed chrysalises this morning, so they are safe.

NY Times is reporting that Roger Rees will take over Nathan Lane's ADDAMS FAMILY role as Gomez (in March).   Bebe Neuwirth will stay on as Morticia.

http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/10/28/roger-rees-to-replace-lane-in-the-addams-family/



That's if the show makes it through the winter.  From what I've read the show does not sell out

DR Michael S - The show may not be selling out, but it's been selling very well ever since it opened.  The New York Times even did a piece on just how well it had been selling even after the less than favorable reviews, "Critics May Rant, but ‘Addams Family’ Rakes It In" (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/14/theater/14addams.html).

Of course, January and February are traditionally lean months for Broadway, but with Nathan Lane still in there, the show should still sell comparably well.  -And it will undoubtedly benefit from the closing of the other shows in January.  Roger Rees may not be as big a draw, but he'll be coming in right at the beginning of the Spring tourist season, and I'm pretty sure that many a high school theatre group will be booked into the Lunt-Fontanne.  *And I'm pretty sure that their marketing company will somehow play up the "Cheers" ties that both Bebe and Roger have.

It's a friggin' crazy lady talking to her hand.  ;)

...Or maybe she was just trying to keep her hat on.

...Or maybe she was simply camera shy.

...Or maybe it was a man dressed as a woman.

...Or maybe her jaw hurt.

...Or maybe people are just reading too much into it.

I think she had an earache and was trying to keep her ear warm.

Sign of the season:  Today I put all my summer t-shirts into the under-the-bed storage and got out my sweaters and turtlenecks.  That'll probably make it warm up...

Today was in the 40s tomorrow the 60s. so yes, it's probably going to warm up there, :)

Well, we were back in the 70's today here in NYC. -Although, it's cooled down nicely since this afternoon.

DR Laura - Sorry to hear about the tainted milkweed. At least you seem to have enough of the "good stuff" in your yard.

DR Dan (the Man) - If you'd like, I could always just drop by Mr. Sondheim's brownstone with your copy in hand... ;)


You know where he lives?

Umm... Yes. But I thought everyone knew where he lived. ::)

Had a good work session with The Singer - made some choices and made some discards.  Then we went to Mo's where I had a blessed bacon cheeseburger, which was just the antidote I needed to counteract that awful healthy stuff I ate earlier.  It was probably more than I should have eaten, but it was worth it.
